In a message dated 02/09/2001 4:14:24 PM Eastern Standard Time,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] aTTRIBUTES TO EMPEROR'S CLOTHES the statement that:
<< His positions being what they are, he might as well be the mastermind
behind the NATO "information" website about DU.> >>
For Tony's peace of mind, that is not a quote from an emperor's clothes
article, it is a quote from a piece on the STOPNATO list, written by Piotr
Bein. I forwarded the piece not because of the above quote, which is
pointless speculation, but because of the substantial point, that what Mr.
Albert has said about depleted uranium is very wrong, and very harmful to
buidling a movement.
My emphasis is reflected in the title, which is the only part I wrote: "Z-Net
Flunks Test on Depleted Uranium" - and that is what I think. Albert of Z-Net
flunked. True, as you point out, Tony, he flunked AGAIN.
As to why Mr. Albert consistently flunks out, e.g., by supporting Otpor on Z
website, you got me. I don't read his mail. As to why Andrej redbaits and
supports the overthrow of Serbian democracy in the guise of supporting
democracy, you got me again.
To put it bluntly, I am interested in actions and arguments, not in
witchhunts for paymasters. The important point about Mr. Albert at Z is that
he consistently takes a stance that undermines action - waffling on the KLA,
backing Otpor, fiercely attacking anyone who suggested the Chinese Embassy
bombing might have been deliberate, and now this thing on DU which may end up
killing --- I don't want to think how many it may kill. I think it's better
to stick to these issues and show why Albert is wrong - as Piotr did, mainly.
That's why I posted it. The sentence Tony seizes on is pointless precisely
because it allows the discussion to be misfocused and trivialized, as
unfortunately Mr. Aabdo has done, diverting from the horror of what Albert
advocates to the pointless speculation about his motives.
Best regards,
Jared.
For that matter, as to why Tony Aabdo writes silly snipes, which either one
replies to (which takes time) or one ignores (in which case people might
believe them) - e.g. that THIS PARTICULAR ARTICLE by Piotr Bein article
appeared on emperor's clothes when the text begins with the words,
"Reprinted from http://www.stopnato.org.uk/du-watch/bein/alpha.htm" - as to
why Tony likes to build straw men and then mercilessly knocks them down, you
got me a third time.
